[quote=Anonymous]When I was in elementary school, during a health screening, the nurse called my mom to tell her to take me to the pediatrician immediately - I was so skinny I was OFF the growth chart. Like, lower than 0 percentile. My mom panicked and called my dr. His exact words were “calm down. She’s fine. She’ll eat when she’s hungry”. I didn’t break 100 lbs until college. And I’ve always looked much younger than I am. Sometimes medical intervention is good, sometimes it’s overkill. I would definitely not get the feeding tube unless your daughter has severe nutritional deficiencies, which I’m sure your doctor would be aware of. It’ll be ok, op. [/quote]
